Merry Christmas Eve!

Merry Christmas Eve! We love Elliot's cuuuute dress from Grandma!

The Elves are hard at work. Elliot looks a little worried, but in those shoes, who could have a care in the world?

Earlier in the day, Elliot has her first taste of the good life: Avocado! She loved it.

Here is the sugar left over on the table at Ami's after making Christmas cookies. Elliot slept through the fun, but Ben was feeling artistic.

The Eggplant is just so edible.

At Last! She is Back!

Elliot & Daddy this morning by the Christmas tree.

Elliot helps me wrap presents. She's started scooching down in her seat through a series or yoga "bridge" poses.

These are the random carolers that came to our porch. My first instinct was to turn off the light & hide...we have no cookies to offer and Ben grabbed Elliot & went outside while I asked, "are we supposed to tip them?!" (we are not). They sang a lovely Silent Night (all 13 verses) and moved on.

Elliot & Grandma pick out Christmas trees.

Here we are on the Boston Common at the start of the Freedom Trail.

Grandpa gives Elliot a good morning snarl.

Elliot "walks" with Grandpa.

Elliot takes a bottle from Grandma while she recovers from the good morning snarl razor-burn from Grandpa.

Ponchohantas gets ready to ride!

Elliot is continuously entertained by her second cousin Emily Rose.

Elliot thanks Daddy for solidarity in the hair department. For once her hair is tamer than somebody else's!

Elliot & Zoe play a little SS Tricky.

Stats: 4 Mos. 13 Lbs 3oz & 26.5 Inches Long!

Elliot decides she is too cute to nap in her crib. Does she look sleepy to anyone? The end of the swaddle is a sad day in nap land for us.

Elliot, swaddled, & sleeping peacefully on Uncle Stephen's bed. No crib in sight.

Ballerina girl practices for her Quinceanera. She was really digging the lace and ruffles. Uh oh.

November 7 was a big day at our house. Elliot's 4 month birthday, Ben's 420 month birthday, and election day! Here are Elliot & Ben hitting the polls.
